I was just wondering what will happen to the remaining 60GBs as it is the same price as the 80B (with motorstorm) and the only reason to buy the 60GB is for the back-compat, and from my experience with the European 60GB, it is good, most games work fine.

Do think that the retailers that still have then will reduce the price to clear them out (maybe at $450) as on Amazon.com the 80GB is @ 9 on the chart, and the 60GB is 26th (still quite high) but I would  expect that to fall and for them to be left wth a supply of them covered in dust 

I'm certain stores will offer clearance sales to get rid of the 60GB PS3s. They need to get rid of it NOW and it will extremely difficult to explain what makes the 60GB a worthier purchase than the 80GB.

That and Sony isn't making anymore, so it's time to get rid of inventory.

They will sell out eventually.

My local store here has indeed dropped the price of the 60gb by another $50, but then the 80gb has a pack-in game (Motorstorm), two at some retailers (also including Lair) so it's still the same value.
Still 60gb is FULLY bc and that'll sell the remaing units.

I suspect we will see the 60 gig priced at the same as the 40 gig -- $399 once the 40 gig is released. That would be a freaking smoking deal since it is the last piece of hardware you can get from the various SKUs that has every single option including 100% hardware backward compatibility.

Should sell out this holiday even if they keep it at the same price.

they qre going to have to scramble to get them off the shelves

they should offer them at a price of $449 so they sell out before the 40GB model is released.

If you check out Gamestop.com, it looks like they're all out of 60gb systems. Maybe the corporate website will take the 60gb off the hands of the retail outlets.

It sure would suck to be a retailer stuck with pallets full of PS3s you already paid for.
